proverbs 21: 31
"The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the Lord."

note to self:
quit obsessing about grades
stop comparing
let go
let God

'what heights of love, what depths of peace
when fears are stilled, when striving cease
my Comforter, my all in all
here in the power of Christ I stand'

this morning i went for a run at princes park.

and a number of interesting things happened.

it rained! then i tried to take a shortcut hoping to get back sooner. but i think because of that i forgot all my bearings and i took a turn too early, finding myself wandering along rows and rows of houses, with the colleges nowhere in sight.

and i was running with my ipod, so i was all for protecting my precious ipod from the rain.so i put my clenched fist containing my ipod under the bottom end of my shirt. what a sight it must have been! haaaha.

but as i was braving the rain and covering my ipod, a pleasant thought was suddenly dropped into my head-- that if i care enough about my material ipod to shield it from the rain, how much more my heavenly daddy cares about me; how much more will he shield me from the storms of life as i journey with Him. (: reminded me of footprints in the sand.

on the way back, i was too captured by the grandeur of the clock tower at ormondcollege to run past without getting a closer look. so i ran into the college. i thoroughly enjoyed the sight of the colourful flowers in bloom that dotted the shrubs along the walk. and the buildings were so majestic. very harrypotterish. that's kind of how i always dreamed my uni's campus would be (again, part of the reason i was so fixated with studying in london. i really want to go to vienna + salzburg + london!!). the old buildings simply make me happy. the architecture launches me into a whole different era. it's so dreamy i love it. think of castles, royalty.. mmmmm (:

good morning.

my books and notes have been my best friends the last couple of days.

i am really thankful that my exam timetable is relatively spread out, as it was last sem.

m&m if you see this thank you for being such delightful dinner company yesterday, i really had a good time talking to you all.

some soapsuds to start off the day:
proverbs 14:30-
A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.

I find it intriguing that peace is a starting point for life- a life filled with faith, hope, and love. Indeed someone told me that revisiting the point of mountain top clarity - of the peace that surpasses all understanding - is such an important aspect of remembering why you are doing what you are doing. come back to the higher purpose of it all. it's so easy to get caught up in the rat race, and that is sadly meaningless. Having peace about you do is just so important, i cannot stress it enough. But I can say that it is one of the principles that I live by and make decisions by. For I know that this inner peace of having a quietened heart helps guard my heart in my Maker. Peace He gives me, peace He leaves with me; He does not give as the 'world' gives.

And what of envy poisoning our very being? Comparisons in our limited human sight is like a dark viscous fluid that creeps into and darkens our hearts. It is so easy to get caught up in the humdrum of life as defined by the world around us, using status, power, popularity and just some of the yardsticks by which to measure success.

Believe me I quite often find myself affected by comparisons with others. Then I have to remember, that such comparisons are needless. Why try to be someone else when the Creator fearfully and wonderfully created me to be to be well, me? Endeavor to be the best _____(insert name) that you are called to be.

Be.

Take My Life and Let It Be
Frances R. Havergal 1874

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

hmm. funny how often God tells us 'stop' when we want to go; and 'go' when we want to stop.

Your thoughts are above my thoughts, so Your ways are above my ways.

take me deeper, deeper than i've ever been before.
